Mary and Eve is a 2005 crayon and pencil drawing depicting Mary, pregnant with Jesus, consoling Eve after the Fall. It is intended to symbolize the fulfillment of messianic prophecies begun in Genesis 3 and expresses a view of Mary as a New Eve. Drawn by Sister Grace Remington, a Cistercian nun in Iowa, the artwork has become a Christian devotional resource for Advent and has inspired poetry and music.
